"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

8 fricking shots...

Thats how many shots it took for the dentist to numb me enough to do a crown on one tooth. It took 6 shots to get me numb enough to be able to drill and 2 more shots during the process (it started to wear off).

My jaw hurts and the temp crown just feels funny.

UGH

Damn. That's a lot.

Was it a bottom tooth? Sometimes it is hard to get the injection needed for bottom teeth.........but damn.......eight is a whole lot.

I work in a gum surgeon's office and give tons of injections, I cannot imagine eight for one tooth. That is terrible.

Hope you are feeling better.
